    Apple are good at this. Get a presence, modest at first sometimes, then start turning the screw. HomePod is a long game. Still infatuated with mine.

  • Warren Buffett's Berkshire Hathaway bought another 75M Apple shares in Q1

    Meanwhile, earlier today another supplier Skyworks Solutions released lower than expected estimate.  And I quote: 

    "...Analyst Kumar said the guidance was "really not that bad" as investors expected much worse because of soft trends at Apple."

    Say what?  "Soft trends at Apple"????? Did this guy from Piper Jeffrey sleep through the entire earnings report and call two days ago? 

    The narrative on the street is that iPhone demand is in sharp decline and X is a miserable failure. That sell side crowd simply refuses to believe in evidence.  They just continue their narrative as if Tim Cook conference call were in another universe.

    It is good to see Uncle Warren being the ultimate value seeker here and ignoring all the garbage from the sell side. 
    Cognitive dissonance at best. Wilful sabotage to manipulate price also feasible.

  • Wish list: HomePod needs an officially adjustable EQ, and much better Siri at WWDC

    You already can play and pause Apple TV content with HomePod. It’s limited at the moment, but play and pause work OK for me. 

    I really hope they sort timers out, just so people stop moaning about bloody timers.

    Love my HomePod. I know, **** me right?!

    I was an iTunes match subcriber. I had 5-6k songs. But I had not purchased a new album since the last time I bought a CD. 5-6yrs. I lost track of new artists and didnt delve into older artisits catalogs bc I didnt want to spend the extra money. Sounds silly really bc I used to buy 2 or 3 CD’s a month. There was something about going to the store and buying the album that I reallly enjoyed. 

    Anyway, I took the 3month trial of Apple Music and I listened to more music than ever before. New and older stuff. I am constantly finding new music and older artists back catalogues which I never would have listened too (let alone purchased) had I stayed on Match. 

    I am now a paid subscriber and wish I had started sooner. It has renewed my love of music. 

    I am sure that I would be happy with Spotify but I am entrenched in the Apple eco-system and it just made sense for me.

    Anyone else have a similar excitement level when switching to a full on streaming service? I have really loved it. 
    Totally agree and I’d throw in my HomePod purchase sealing the deal. Easy as it was to play the music on my phone or through Apple TV, I didn’t “surf” tracks the same way, bouncing easily to another song as it took my fancy, or just throw on my New Music or Chill mixes. I just throw that at Siri now and away we go. Flippin brilliant.
